Chapter 30 Unlocking New Food (2)
Soon the stone pot made a "gurgling" sound again.
Lan Qingling silently estimated the time in her mind. About half an hour later, she took off the animal skin that served as the pot cover.
The smell of broth mixed with the fragrance of corn wafted towards her, and Lan Qingling couldn't help but take two deep breaths of the aroma.
Nanzhou also stared curiously at the fragrant corn and duck soup in the stone pot, and his mouth was slightly watering.
But Lan Qingling couldn't wait to taste it, but she immediately found that they had no tools to serve the soup.
"Nanzhou, I want a soup spoon," Lan Qingling said, picking up a wooden bowl and gesturing as she said, "It's this wooden bowl with a stick on the back."
Nanzhou understood immediately and dragged out the remaining tree trunk from the corner. After gesturing at the trunk, Nanzhou's right hand turned into a lion's claw again and he started to dig at the trunk. Soon, the outline of a soup spoon came out. Nanzhou then carefully polished the spoon until it was smooth and free of barbs.
Nanzhou took the polished soup spoon and walked to the sink. After washing the spoon three times, he handed the spoon to Lan Qingling.
Lan Qingling took the soup spoon, then reached into the stone pot to try it out and found that it fits the bill perfectly.
She held the soup spoon in her right hand and the wooden bowl in her left hand. She scooped a full bowl for Nanzhou first. She handed the soup to Nanzhou, who quickly took it and took a big sip while facing Lan Qingling's expectant gaze.
"Delicious!" As soon as the soup went down his throat, Nanzhou's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaim in praise. He had never thought that cooking some unrelated things together could produce something so delicious.
After hearing what Nanzhou said, Lan Qingling immediately served herself a bowl.
It was just as Nanzhou said, delicious. Although the only seasoning was salt, it had an indescribable freshness and fragrance.
Lan Qingling picked up the branch that she used as chopsticks and picked up a piece of corn to taste. It was sweet and sticky, with thick meat and thin skin. It was delicious! She picked up another piece of meat. It was tender and delicious, fat but not greasy. It was delicious!
Lan Qingling drank two bowls in a row and ate four pieces of corn and five pieces of meat before stopping. Then she turned her attention to the duck eggs that had already cooled down.
She picked up a duck egg from the stone bowl, gently cracked the eggshell, and then peeled off the skin. The white and tender duck egg appeared in Lan Qingling's hands.
Lan Qingling did not put the duck egg into her own mouth, but handed it to Nanzhou, who was looking at the duck egg in her hand curiously.
"Nanzhou, try it!"
Nanzhou immediately put the duck egg into his mouth. As soon as the duck egg entered his mouth, Nanzhou opened his eyes wide. He looked at Lan Qingling and exclaimed again: "Delicious! It turns out that boiled duck eggs are so delicious!"
Nanzhou finished the duck egg in his hand in a few bites, then took another duck egg from the stone bowl, cracked the shell of the duck egg like Lan Qingling did, and carefully peeled off the eggshell. Finally, he put the white and tender duck egg in Lan Qingling's hand and said: "Little rabbit, you eat it!"
Lan Qingling immediately lowered her head and took a big bite of the white and tender duck egg in her hand. The delicious taste made her eyes squint.
Unfortunately, Lan Qingling had eaten too much soup, corn and meat, and after eating half a duck egg, she could no longer eat.
She put the remaining duck egg back into the bowl and said to Nanzhou: "I can't eat any more. I'll eat this half tomorrow."
When Nanzhou heard what Lan Qingling said, he immediately stuffed the half duck egg into his mouth and said, "I'll cook a new one for you tomorrow, and I'll eat the rest."
“But that duck egg…” I have eaten it before…
Lan Qingling looked at Nanzhou with a calm face, and finally she felt too embarrassed to say the rest of the words. Nanzhou looked at Lan Qingling whose face turned red again, and smiled with his head down.
